I woke up this morning and realize its too early to get up. I mean, come on, its Saturday!
And I have 1 week of break from classes starting today. This is suppose to be a special day especially made for sleeping in. No assignments, no classes, no exams, no boring lectures. A real bliss I tell you, especially since med school is renowned for its monotonous-bore-you-to-death lectures. The teaching personals try their hardest to amp up the students' enthusiasm with funny presentation slides and quirky jokes but oh poor, poor them, most of the time it doesn't work, and the rest of the time, we made it a point to show it. Even made the you-look-stupid-right-now-so-we're-just-gonna-stare-at-you-while-you-get-awkward face.
Anyway, enough with the med school stuff, so as I was saying, woke up early on a Saturday. The sun's not even up yet. Its 5am. I was just about to go back to sleep when I thought of a great idea- JOGGING.
*inward scream* I don't know why I came up with that myself. I haven't been working out for 6 months already. I'm so frustrated with myself. Because it sounds like a damn good idea but my body is just soooo tired. JUST GREAT. Now I need to battle with my own body. Why? Because my brain decided to come up with the idea. Just great, brain.
Yeaaaaah, smart-ass body parts piss you off sometimes. Eh-he-he-he. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, right... Eh-hehe?
So after an internal Armageddon, my brain won and the sour loser limbs were making it really difficult to climb off the bed. So I rolled to the side and knocked off a bowl that was on my bedside table. NOTE: La bowl was filled with grapes' seed that I had eaten last night but was too lazy to get off my ass to empty it and wash it at the sink.
A million (okay, only about 20) seeds splattered across the carpet. Great, now I have to pick them up. But because I was too lazy, even thinking about picking them tires me, so I figured I could pop up the vacuum later.
Put on work out sweater, pants and gym shoes. NOTE: The gym shoes costs 300 bucks. Bought it when I first signed up for gym a year ago. For the record, I DID go to the gym. But after a few months, I didn't go anymore. Too lazy to walk to the gym. Hey, that's a very valid excuse, mind you. Do you know how hard it is to walk 5 blocks with a gym bag weighing over 2kg? Over two kilos!! I could kill a pigeon with that.
Grabbed my mp3, and no, I DO NOT own an iPod. I'm not even sorry for it, hell, I'm proud of that! Do you know how much work it takes to download a song and transfer it? That's why I just use my younger sister's mp3 instead, she already put songs in it. She bought an iPod touch, so she practically wanted to throw away the mp3, but I saved it.
Enough with the side story. I head out and jogged lightly, just as I was starting to amp up the speed, the sun rose on the horizon ahead. So beautiful. I couldn't even describe it exactly. There I was, after an internal Armageddon, sweating, with no one else was on the streets to share this beautiful scene but that's okay, and I felt soooooo glad that I didn't sleep in.
As I was soaking in the orange hue from the sun, I have this urge to do everything differently from today, I want to NOT be so lazy. Get up my lazy ass and do something, more adventurous, daring, bold and just embrace life. I felt new.
If you think you understand what I'm talking about... well, no you don't. You don't understand, I haven't been productive for the last 8 months. I go to classes, lectures, pass every exam and go out with friends but I'm just not there. I'm always somewhere else. I don't exactly know where. My life, its perfect to most people, but I don't feel anything. But this wonderful sight on an empty street on a Saturday morning just made me snap back to where I really am. I'm here.
